Where the sky begins, the horizon ends, despite the best intentions.
I'm tired of screwing up. I'm tired of being down. I'm tired of myself. I'm tired of bein' down.
I always liked the idea of the guitar - because cowboys played the guitar.
I'm so tired of being tired. Sure as night will follow day most things I worry about will never happen anyway.
I'm not interested in the TV much. I quit watching the news a couple years ago and my outlook on life has gotten a whole lot better.
You spend your life dreaming, running 'round in a trance, You hang out forever and still miss the dance, And if you get lucky, you might find someone, To help you get over the pain that will come.
Even the losers get lucky sometimes. Even the losers keep a little bit of pride. They get lucky sometimes.
Gypsies at home watching Jerry Falwell on TV, might mean something to you, it ain't nothing to me.
Honey, don't walk out, I'm too drunk to follow.
Some days are diamonds, some days are rocks. Some doors are opened, some roads are blocked. Sundowns are golden, then fade away. And if I never do nothing, I'll get you back someday.
There goes your freedom of choice, there goes the last human voice.
My mama was a rocker way back in fifty-three, buys them old records that they sell on TV.
I had the radio on, I was driving. Trees flew by, me and Del were singing, Little Runaway, I was flying.
At twilight time the smog makes a rainbow.
